If you're willing to self-host, Photoprism[0] is pretty nice and easy to get up and running.
It has the flavor of Google Photos, but it's definitely a step down in UX. One of the features I really love about Google Photos is the ability to jump quickly through time. Like if I'm looking for a photo I took around June 2018, I can get to it in <5 seconds.
I didn't realize what a magical feature it is until I tried looking for it with alternatives and found that they all have a lot of scrolling, pausing to load new photos, more scrolling.
But I'm impressed with what Photoprism has achieved as a small, donation-funded OSS project, so I'm hoping to see them grow.

- StavrosK 5y agoPhotoPrism does this too.
- hanniabu 5y agoDo you know if they have a portable option so i can keep it on my external drive that i have all my media on?
- durovo 5y agoYes, I have it installed locally. Haven't played around with it much though, features like grouping by face were not present the last time I checked. Honestly, Google Photos is just too convenient. Photoprism is a good backup option though.
